Notice

POTENTIAL COMPROMISE OF SYSTEM AVAILABILITY, INTEGRITY, AND CONFIDENTIALITY

  • Always select the least privileged role necessary for the user to perform their duties.

  • Always create a unique account for each individual.

  • Do not share accounts between multiple people.

  • Consider regional privacy requirements when creating user and display names, as user names will appear in event logs.

  • Ensure user names are clearly unique to help ensure clear traceability. For example, avoid creating both “User1” and “User 1”.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in unauthorized system access or disclosure of private information.
